Features and benefits

Email is the most important Forcepoint DLP channel to protect, as work email is often mixed with personal, campaign, and spam email, leaving it vulnerable to accidental reply-all and wrong file attachments. In addition to preventing deliberate or malicious data leaks, Forcepoint DLP for Cloud Email helps prevent data loss by applying specific email policies based on the sender and recipient email domains.

Forcepoint DLP for Cloud Email does not require any agent installation on the endpoint, making it easy to deploy and use. It supports all mail clients, such as Outlook, Gmail, AppleMail, etc., and ensures that users using browser clients have consistent Forcepoint DLP policy applied to emails.

Forcepoint DLP for Cloud Email allows you to choose from different actions, such as quarantine, encrypt, drop attachment (to be supported in future release), or block, depending on your needs and preferences. You can also opt to never quarantine so that you do not have to worry about data sovereignty concerns.

Forcepoint DLP for Cloud Email will soon support Mailchimp, a popular email marketing platform, so you can protect your email campaigns from data loss as well.
